    Very well said. I'm a young fan and he's the "coolest" guy in the peloton to me. Very marketable guy from the moment you see him. And good commercial too! I too hope he picks the right team, what team do you think is the right one?

    Interesting, I never knew that. Thought you had to "retire" like Petacchi haha.

    How's he able to just ride the Vuleta with BMC right away? as the article says he will.

    And hasn't Baraguil already re-signed with Giant? Also, Cycling fever has Petacchi extending with Quick Step if we didn't know already.

    Yes I agree Degenkolb is more likely. He did win 5 stages at the Vuelta once so give him that role and he'll come through. The green jersey would be more interesting if certain riders are actually given the chance to go for it...Degenkolb, EBH, Navardauskas.

    I think you're on to something there! EBH is one of the select few that can contend Sagan for green if you let him(of course Sky worked him like a dog) I miss the EBH of 2011-12. A change of teams for him and a strong Kristoff can both rival for green next year and Coquard and his sprint train...

    Oh good they desperately need a GC guy. Kiserlovski is improving nicely but he can't ride all 3 GT's. And I really like Arredondo but he strikes as more of a mtf stage hunter.

    I heard somewhere that the team manager of Topsport said that Tom Van Asbroeck and Kenneth Vanbilsen have "pre-contracts" with Lotto. Regardless, looks like Topsport, essentially a devo team to begin with, will be graduating some riders this offseason which is good to see.

I'm interested to see how all the rankings work out and how UCI decides who fits where in terms of divisions next year since lots of...

    Dan Craven taking his beard to Europcar to ride the Vuelta! Great addition to the team. I think a couple years back they gave him a verbal agreement that if they ever moved up to WT then they you give him a chance.

    So Matt White says that Orica will announce in a few weeks time the signing of a Grand Tour rider...Evans?

    2014 TDF Green Jersey

    Kittel again says he isn't interested in the green jersey this year. All he wants is stage wins. I think Sagan has the firepower to literally fight for it this time since it wont be as easy as in past years.

    Garmin Sharp

    And not to mention their catastrophic 2012 TDF when Tyler Farrar went down in a bunch sprint and later went to the Argos bus to say "Just tell him, you don't do that to someone" and then on the road to Metz Tommy D crashed out and Johan V. Summeran managed to finish the stage in shreds.
